Hi All,

I have automatic process to transfer certain files from Sever A to Server B.

On Server B, When i use ls -lrt command , it will provide me the date when that particular file was created on server A.

I wan to find out that when that particular file was transferred to Server B (i don't need file creation date). can you please suggest me the command to achieve this.

Thanks in Advance.

You would have to know how it was transeferred ( with what utility...) and if the utility used logs its activity...

Welcome a007,

I have a few to questions pose in response first:-

  • What have you tried so far?
  • What output/errors do you get? (Please past these wrapped in
    ~~~
    text &
    ~~~
    tags)
  • What OS and version are you using?
  • What tools are you using? (tar, cpio, ftp, sftp, rcp, scp, ........)

Most importantly, What have you tried so far?

It would seem that whatever you are using saves the original modification time. You don't say how the transfer is done so I'm left a bit stumped on how to help. Can you elaborate?

Kind regards,
Robin
